Greatest Collegiate Achievement (Non-Academic)
 

Way back during our game versus Nebraska, I started chanting "Big Balls Pete" whenever we came up on 4th-and-short because, as you must know, Pete Carroll has huge balls and loves to go for it on 4th-and-short.

Yesterday during our game versus Oregon, a solid majority of our student section was doing the "Big Balls Pete" chant, along with the accompanying hand motions.

This is my greatest collegiate achievement.

Yours?

I threw up in the hallway sophomore year, leaving a 30-foot swath of partially digested burrito chunks as I tried to stagger to the bathroom. I also puked in some cardboard boxes people had left out from move-in and the stairwell. Upon returning to my room, I called the assistant hall director and told her what I did. I was going to get away with it too, although the only trouble I got in was the hall director laughing at me when she heard the story.

This isn't really an accomplishment per se, or anything brag-worthy, yet I always feel proud telling it nonetheless.

Also, quit living in the past with your loc.

Unrelated USC chanting story:

At the rose bowl I joyfully help start the "Three-Pete" chant in the USC section after we scored with ~6 minutes left in the 4th.

Then 2 girls in front of me turned around and said "YOU ARE GOING TO JINX IT, SHUT UP." Oops.

PS: what year are you?

me and my big brother in the fraternity i'm pledging won the yearly "case race" at our fraternity house. after ten beers each in about 40 minutes, i was feeling awfully full and couldn't burp it out, so i leaned over the raliing, pulled the trigger (just missing our president's head), and my big bro and i shotgun the last two beers each to win against all elevn other pairings
NOW THAT'S A FREAKIN ACHIEVEMENT!
other than that...I had sex with one of the cheerleaders after we lost to Tennessee two weeks ago! Two interesting details to that story:
1)We were both fairly sober
and 2)For as hot as she was along with the sheer idea that i was railing a college cheerleader, she wasn't that good...

Weak Sauce. Puking during a case race disqualifies you back where I come from.

Where I come from a case race means you try to drink the whole case...but I guess that's why we win our football games.

ten beers in forty minutes for a 5'8, 130lb. guy isn't too shabby...not to mention that i kept drinking right after i threw up...but that's cool i guess

Don't you mean 58 kilos? Because clearly you are from some whack ass French/Scandanavian/Bangladeshi country where a case is only 20 beers.

I was managing editor of my college newspaper, one of the biggest (circulation-wise) and most acclaimed in the nation.

The things I've done in college non-academic wise would put you guys to shame. No, I'm not talking about school clubs or poker either.

Re: Greatest Collegiate Achievement (Non-Academic)
 

There was a large poster hanging from the rafters in the student center freshmen year shouting "LOCKS FOR LOVE: 10in. minimum, 12in. recommended"


We promptly climbed up late one night and changed that L into a C.

not my greatest achievement but it was awesome.

My greatest achievement probably involved organizing a party my junior year wherein we rented a moonbounce, grabbed a bunch of air rifles, fireworks, pills and booze, and took it all up to a lakehouse in a desolated corner of the county. During this party there was a lot of good shenanigans, like boxing in a moonbounce and shooting people with air rifles and blowing things up and barbecuing and skinny dipping and whatnot. At the end of the night I had a threesome in the attic with a couple of lady friends. It was a porch-type attic or loft that was not fully enclosed, and although we thought nobody could see us, apparently if you sat in the living room and looked in the floor-to-ceiling windows you could see us going at it in the reflection, and most of the people in attendance got to watch my filth python in action.

Some friends and I stole a parking lot.

It was in the way.

Completed a list of 47 locations (47 is a number associated with my school for some reason - hence the number). Craziest place was in a fish bowl room on the third floor of some random building.

D3 All-American in Football.

Won the cho-athalon (Pound 6 beers; run about 1.5 miles to In-and-Out; Eat a double-double, fries, and shake; then run back to campus all w/o puking).

What did you do at each of these locations? Jerk off?

Re: Greatest Collegiate Achievement (Non-Academic)
 

And WTF is a 'fish bowl room' ??

Re: Greatest Collegiate Achievement (Non-Academic)
 

Aces: I actually have no clue why it was originally named the "cho" athatlon. It started before my time and I just did it. I think I remember asking and no one else knew either. I'll have to research this.

Tron: yes, i had to mark my territory somehow, how else would I do it??

Drew: Fish Bowl room is a reference to a room that is all open windows so you can see inside. So for someone looking from the outside it is like looking at fish in a fish bowl.

After beating M*chigan in 2002 on the way to the national title, I was in the paper carrying Chris Gamble off the field. I also made Yahoo's Most Popular photos from the party in the streets after the victory. I was looking to see how cold it was on the time/temp sign on a bookstore as the photo was taken. I look like a goon.

legally i was drunk in an entire day from 12am to 12pm and had sex 3 times during that day. Unofficial St. Patty's Day at U of I is the greatest holiday in the world.

its only been half a year so far but i'd say climbing a crane on campus was my greatest accomplishment so far.

Last year I started at midnight and made it until the bars closed the next night. I'm not a very accomplished person. I just go out a lot.

I got pepper sprayed during the PSU - OSU game at Beaver Stadium after I rushed the field when PSU beat them.

Not much, but it'll do.
